| No | Horse | Form | Age | Wgt | Jockey | Trainer | OR | Odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dedicated HeroDedicated Hero won two starts back and three starts back, and returns just 15 days after an eighth last time out, so he should be fit enough. He has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 138 tops the field despite 168 lb. | UP11-8 | 7 | 12-00 | Sam Twiston-Davies | Sandy Thomson | 135 | 7/1 |
| 2 | BucephalusBucephalus won three starts back and was third two runs ago, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while his 134 rating ranks him second of seven; the main risk is a 181-day absence and 167 lb on his back after an unplaced latest run. | 2P13-0 | 9 | 11-13 | Harriet Tucker(7) | Neil Mulholland | 134 | 8/1 |
| 3 | ManuelitoManuelito won two starts back and four starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before, so the form makes him a leading threat off 162 lb. The big risk is a 350-day absence, with a fall last time out too. | 19/1F- | 6 | 11-08 | Harry Cobden | Philip Hobbs & Johnson White | 129 | 7/1 |
| 4 | All In YouAll In You arrives fit after 27 days off, a fourth last time out following a win three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and on this going before. Our rating has him third of seven, but 160 lb is a stiff burden and the pulled up two starts back is the worry. | /21P4- | 6 | 11-06 | Sean Bowen | Warren Greatrex | 127 | 5/4 |
| 5 | LyssenkoUnbeaten in his last three starts, winning last time out and two and three starts back, Lyssenko returns after 294 days off under 158 lb. He looks unexposed and open to improvement, though the long absence leaves fitness a question. | 111- | 5 | 11-04 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | 125 | 5/2 |
| 6 | Star of GuitingWinless in his last five, Star of Guiting has finished sixth, seventh and eighth in his last three outings, so he is hard to fancy under 150 lb. He has run over today's trip and going and is back after 22 days, while our figures rank him fifth of seven. | P58-76 | 5 | 10-10 | Craig Nichol | Ewan Whillans | 117 | 11/2 |
| 7 | King UlandaHard to fancy at the sharp end given he is ranked sixth of seven on our figures, and he was only fifth last time out, but a win four starts back and two wins in his last six, plus experience of today's trip and going, give him some credentials. Fit after 14 days, he carries 146 lb. | 141335 | 6 | 10-06 | Jack Tudor | Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero | 113 | 11/2 |
